TL;DR Summary

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a solar storm alert for June 7 and 8 after detecting a coronal mass ejection (CME) directed towards Earth. The resultant geomagnetic storm is expected to be between G1 and G2-class intensity, causing GPS disruption and radio blackouts. The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is monitoring the situation using its three crucial instruments to collect data from various solar activities. The current solar cycle is expected to reach its peak by early next year, which could produce a terrifying G5-class geomagnetic storm.
